Fuck J.J.!!
That's literally all I can think to say.
Other than that I loved this book so much, and I can't express how much

Dance with the Devil by Amanda Richardson, Amanda Richardson
2.0
2 stars, I read till the end, so that's something.
Overall, this book was more like a pass time (if that makes any sense) read,
It lacked a proper plot; nothing about the main characters was remotely interesting, the MMC's personality- for some reason- was his sleeping disorder or whatever you'd like to call it.
The fmc's personality was non-existent.
Basically, I liked the idea of the book but, that's where it ends.

Chasing the Wild by Elliott Rose
2.0
Did not finish book. Stopped at 56%.
"Chasing the Wild" was lackluster at best. I tried to push through it for four days, hoping it would get better—thinking I would grow to love the characters or at least see some character development, especially from the male main character. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen!
Neither character exhibited any signs of emotional attraction toward each other. Initially, I brushed this off, but now that I'm halfway through the book, all I know is that they desperately want to be together physically. The reasons behind their reluctance to act on this desire aren't convincing either.
Having decided to DNF (did not finish) this book, I’m uninterested in finding out what happens at the end; it feels like I already know where it's headed. I wouldn’t label this book as smutty or even spicy—I'm not sure what it is, but it's not that. While the few intimate scenes I read were okay, they felt a bit underwhelming.

For the Fans by Nyla K.
4.0
"For the Fans is such a fantastic book that had me hooked from start to finish! Even though it’s a pretty long read, it never felt boring at all. Seriously, I wouldn’t change a thing about the characters!
If you’re anything like me, you might start off hating Kyran just for the fun of it, but he grows on you in the best way. His character development is amazing to witness; I can't believe he was such a different person at the beginning! It’s hard to even put it into words.
And then there’s Avi… I loved every moment he was in the book! He has everything you look for in a character—where would I even start with that?
Overall, the main characters and the plot are some of the best I’ve ever read. I felt like I was living the story myself!
I heard this line in a movie the other day: ‘One thing I've always been sure of in my life is that I was always meant to love you.’ That totally made me think of Avi because it fits him so well!"

Okay, was a bit sceptical of Troy getting his own book, but but now I'm happy I did.
I love me a good character development story and that's what I got.
